How Not To Take Photos For Your Blog (Or: FUUUUUUUUU…)

Last week I did what I thought was a really pretty look for a night out so naturally, I went to snap a few photos. Of course, in blogging land, “a few photos” is at least fifty. Loading up my memory card today, I was expected to be greeted with a couple of decent pictures at least to share with you all! Er, no:

I can’t be the ONLY one that this happens to. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

Anyway, this is the ONE even half decent picture I managed to take, and I don’t know what’s going on with my massive hair, and my lipstick looks all skewwhiff. I even edited out my spot in rage, which I don’t normally bother to do. Ah, well. *I* know it was a pretty look!

When I look in the mirror, I can see my eyes are above my nose and my lips are below my nose. When I have a camera in my hand, I may as well have never seen a human face before because it's shots up my nose, in my ear, charming shots of my moustache, oh, and there's the ceiling! I have to take about 200 shots to get a few 'good' ones. Gaaaaaaahhhhh! Glad it's not just me. xx

Blogging is simply harder work in winter - unless you have a permanent mini studio with lighting etc, which I don't have...therefore I have a lack of EOTD posts recently, which I love to do, but am loathed to put up when the photography sucks!

I do this all the time. Even when I think I've got a decent one, when I upload it I often discover that it's crap, or at least not good enough. Hence the lack of EOTDs on my blog. It's even worse in winter with the lack of natural daylight to use.

I take like a trillion pictures most of the time and as you have seen, I'm still usually making a stupid face in the very best of the pictures and half of them are still blurry or crappy. I am just terrible at photography! I am glad to read that I'm not the only one who has this issue!!
